A five day "heat wave" occurred across most of the region between July 23rd and 27th. A combination of the actual air temperature and relative humidity values combined to produce heat indice values near 110 degrees each day. Additionally, each of these days had high temperatures ranging from 95 to 99 degrees with overnight lows in the middle 70s. This turned out to be the warmest stretch of weather, this region has seen, since July 2001. One heat stress related fatality occurred during this "heat wave" and it was in Covington county on July 26.
